Here's The Plan

When I was preparing myself for these days ahead, I took a pen and paper and began to brainstorm of what I wanted to accomplish during this time. I came up with five areas that I will be focusing on. 
I do want to say that we each have to design our strategy to fit our lives. For example, if you are a Health Care Worker who is putting in 10-12 hour days and then come home to meet the needs of your family, you are not going to be able to do what someone else has time to do. So please, design it for what fits for you. 

If you only have time for one of these areas, do the first one—because it is THE most important one. It is foundational to make everything else in your day function.

The five areas are as follows:

1. Spiritually—Begin the day with God in prayer.
2. Physically—Keep yourself strong by eating the right food and the right
               time. Also, get exercise and drink plenty of water.     
3.  Mentally—Read or listen to something uplifting
4.  Socially—Connect with family and/or friends
5.  Emotionally—Every evening write down something about the day that 
                you want to thank God for.

Again, if your time is limited, I suggest that you begin the day in prayer and end it in thanksgiving to God. If you have time for the other three—all the better.

As you may know I have written The 30-Second Prayer That Changes Everything. It literally takes 30 seconds to commit your day to God and ask Him to cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will so you can be established in peace and experience success.

If you are new to prayer, allow me to form a prayer to get you started.

Father, I roll my plans upon You today
Cause my thoughts to become agreeable to Your will
So that I can be established and succeed.

On some days I have even said, “…..so I can be established in peace and get through this day—or this situation or this season.” 

So now it’s your turn. Go ahead and write out what you would like to see happen and then begin by giving your plans to God. I think you will be quite amazed at the outcome!

Weeding Out The Lie

If you have read my book, The 30-Second Prayer That Changes Everything , you already know that being intentional  is key to achieving successful results. You might begin each day with something like this-- Father, I commit this day to You. Cause me to think the way You think--so that I will be in Your will and make right choices today.                                                                         Yesterday, I had a troubling thought show up on my radar. I recognized it as a reoccurring thought. In fact, it had surfaced several times over the past few months and was on the verge of become a "held-belief."  I even spoke it out loud on a couple of occasions which gave this false imagination additional fuel. This belief definitely did not bring me peace, but instead irritation, impatience...

Day 6---Narrowing Our Focus

The first week of the "30 Days" is now behind us..... Let’s review some key components that will move us forward with strength and purpose. We have our foundational promise from God’s Word: Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.                               Proverbs 16:3 (AMPC) We have our prayer: Of course, feel free to use your own words and spend as long as you desire in prayer. God wants a relationship with us and all close relationships require spending time together. In Proverbs 16:3, God is calling us into partnership with Him so He can lead us through the day successfully. If you need help with forming the prayer, you could use these words: “Father, as I commit this day to You, cause me to think Your thoughts.”   We have...
